If you could be imitate the ability of one golfer who would you be?

[miniTIGER95]

examples;
Stricker/ woods 10 years ago for putting.
Bubba watson/ nicklaus etc for driving.
hogan for iron play/ ball striking
seve/ mickelson for short game?

Personally Id pick seve every day purely for his imagination. Failing that I would pick hogan for his knowledge on the golf swing and the fact he was such a good ball striker back then, imagine what he would be like with the equipment now.

I think 'imitating imagination' would constitute an oximoron

 

[Region3]

Bagsy I get Lee Westwood's driving please.

 

[Oddsocks]

Luuuuuuuuuuuuke, for all round class

?? An oxymoron* is a figure of speech that is contradictory, and imitating is to copy/follow someone's mannerisms/ actions/ speech etc, so how did you work that one out?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

None of them. They all have their own flaws or they'd be cleaning up every week. I'm happy ploughing my own furrow and being me

 

[philsh]

I would to say Seve. A proper legend. Abit of a hero of mine.

So millions in the bank earnt through playing golf with a flaw, or hours spent up the practice ground, skint, to score 38 points in the monthly stableford????
Yes I can see your point Homer.

I'm with you on this one westys driving for me too.

 

[G_Mulligan]

Only taking players I have grown up with and seen regularly.

Driving: Westwood
Irons: Sergio
Short game: Mickelson
putting: Tiger
Course management: Monty
Mental preperation: Poults

 

[Stub]

Luke for his all round game and, like me, he's not a big hitter.

 

[need_my_wedge]

I'd like Rory's swing for the long sticks, and Seve for the short game and putting.

because the other element in the equation is imagination and this involves origionality

copy/imitate - origionality/imagination are contradictory

 

[One Planer]

Tee to Green - Lee Westwood
On the Green - Luke Donald/David Toms

I'm never going to get within a million miles of tour even if I had the tee to green of Westwood, the ball strike of McIlroy, the short game of Seve and the clutch putting of Woods in his prime. Consequently I'm more than happy to take the one iota of ability I arguably possess and work hard on my game to eek out the modest success I enjoy every now and then and aim to get as low as I can.

Bizarre as it may seem, I get a lot of satisfaction working on my game and then seeing it work well on the course. Since December my game is really starting to come on and although results don't always show the rewards for the effort I'm enjoying my golf sooooo much more and look forward to getting out there every week now rather than having resigned myself to 25 points in the roll up or 0.1 back in a comp.

Ein minuten bitte...you're serious! I'm flabbergasted. It's a philosophical question that could be simply restated as which part of which golfer's game (past/present) do you admire the most. Surely, you could answer that question!?!?

I've not been watching golf that long but I'd have Seve's amazing powers of recovery. Given where I sometimes find myself on the course it would help...a lot!

 

[Plonko]

Tee to green- Rory
Around the Green - Phil
Putting - Anyone but Sergio
In the bedroom - Tiger

 

[EddyP]

I always liked Angel De La Torre - bit of an odd choice I know, but he was pretty damn good if you ask me. I'd probably most want to imitate Donald though, for all round ability

 

[USER1999]

I'd have Adam Scotts swing for woods and irons, but keep my own putter, with tigers clutch putting skills from back when.
I'd have Harringtons short game around the greens, Donalds bunker play, and KJ Choi's mind set.

I'd be sponsored by Nike or Titleist, and trouser about a trillion dollars a year.

Dream on.
